Charles Christensen , LPC

Charles Christensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with three years of experience in mental health treatment. He earned a graduate degree in counseling from Boise State University after completing undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University. He also draws on his personal journey through addiction and recovery to inform a compassionate, lived-experience approach to care.

Charles focuses on helping people who are coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, and concerns common to young adults. He emphasizes the importance of connection in therapy and works to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore feelings of anger, sadness, loneliness, confusion, and shame while rediscovering their sense of worth.

His approach integrates evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to support practical change and personal growth. He encourages anyone considering counseling to reach out if they feel there could be a good fit, and he supports clients in finding a therapist who meets their needs if the match is not right.

Could Remote Counseling Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy can offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the primary benefits is flexibility - people can connect in the manner that feels most comfortable, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to attend from home, or to continue care while traveling.

Licensed professionals provide online services, and individuals can change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many, remote therapy combines practical convenience with evidence-informed approaches to support progress and well-being.
